Jupiter is a light weight power and hardware control applet for Linux. It is designed to improve battery life of a portable Linux computer by integrating with the operating system and changing parameters of the computer based on battery or powered connection.
Additionally, Jupiter provides quick access to some of the commonly needed hardware controls like screen output and resolution, WIFI, and bluetooth.

If you use Linux on a portable computer, let Jupiter take the effort out of going mobile.

I have this app installed and it is great…apart from 1 thing. If you have set video displays to external on your laptop…and you take away your laptop without remembering to change the video setting to show both external and internal, then when you log on you end up with a blank screen and no way (that I have found yet) of getting your screen to display.

I installed Jupiter in my notebook and netbook. It was OK with the notebook Dell XPS. However, my netbook Asus eeePC 1201T became veeeeery slow (e.g., more than 5 minutes to finish the boot AFTER typing the login password — and it was really slow in all the programs I worked, like browsers and LibreOffice). I tried to uninstall the package jupiter-support-eee but the problem remained. So, I uninstalled jupiter and everything became OK again.
